The basic differences between cement tiles and ceramic tiles
Encaustic tiles begin their lives differently than porcelain or ceramic. Both practical and beautiful, encaustic cement tiles are poured rather than painted and created under pressure rather than heat.
Encaustic tiles begin their lives differently than porcelain or ceramic. Both practical and beautiful, encaustic cement tiles are poured rather than painted and created under pressure rather than heat. While traditional ceramic tiles are mixed from either red or white clay and sometimes artificially colored, cement tiles are made from a variety of natural ingredients to give them a wider range of stunning colors. Ceramic tiles are fired in a kiln, while encaustic cement tiles are poured into a mold and compressed using pressure. From the very start, handmade cement tiles require less energy to create, which makes them eco-friendly, and they continue such a life by insulating temperatures more effectively than ceramic tile.
